          Read data into a streambuf until some part of the data it contains matches
          a regular expression.

<pre class="programlisting">template&lt;
    typename <a class="link" href="../SyncReadStream.html" title="Buffer-oriented synchronous read stream requirements">SyncReadStream</a>,
    typename Allocator&gt;

<p>
          This function is used to read data into the specified streambuf until the
          streambuf's get area contains some data that matches a regular expression.
          The call will block until one of the following conditions is true:
        </p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
              A substring of the streambuf's get area matches the regular expression.
            </li>
<li class="listitem">
              An error occurred.
            </li>
</ul></div>
<p>
          This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's
          read_some function. If the streambuf's get area already contains data that
          matches the regular expression, the function returns immediately.

<p>
          After a successful read_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional
          data beyond that which matched the regular expression. An application will
          typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent read_until
          operation to examine.
        </p>

        </h6>
<p>
          To read data into a streambuf until a CR-LF sequence is encountered:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting">asio::streambuf b;
asio::read_until(s, b, boost::regex("\r\n"));
std::istream is(&amp;b);
std::string line;
std::getline(is, line);
</pre>
<p>
          After the <code class="computeroutput">read_until</code> operation completes successfully, the
          buffer <code class="computeroutput">b</code> contains the data which matched the regular expression:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting">{ 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r', '\n', 'd', 'e', ... }
</pre>
<p>
          The call to <code class="computeroutput">std::getline</code> then extracts the data up to and
          including the newline (which is discarded), so that the string <code class="computeroutput">line</code>
          contains:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting">{ 'a', 'b', ..., 'c', '\r' }
</pre>
<p>
          The remaining data is left in the buffer <code class="computeroutput">b</code> as follows:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting">{ 'd', 'e', ... }
</pre>
<p>
          This data may be the start of a new line, to be extracted by a subsequent
          <code class="computeroutput">read_until</code> operation.
